Expanding his attack on Hillary Clinton over the investigation into the private email server she used while serving as Secretary of State, Donald Trump on Friday demanded that President Obama publicly say that he would not grant a pardon to Clinton before leaving office.

Trump in Novi, MI: "Mister President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to @hillaryclinton and coconspirators?"

“Mr. President, will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators, for their many crimes against our country and against society itself – will you make that pledge?” Trump said to big cheers at a rally in Novi, Michigan.

Trump again on Friday denounced the FBI for its investigation of the Clinton email matter, blasting the idea that a group of aides could be given immunity, and yet no charges were brought against the former Secretary of State.

“The FBI Immunity Five,” Trump labeled the group, which has been enthusiastically picked up by his supporters.
